Flash Gordon You're crazy. Why would you do that?
Because I've never before met your like. You're a hero, don't you see that? Who better to rule a kingdom? Your moon is very close now. Earth's end might come within hours.
Flash Gordon You'd call off the attack?
I could.
Flash Gordon Everyone would be saved?
Yes... and no. After the earthquakes and tidal waves, they won't be quite the human beings you remember. They'll be more flexible. Easier for you to rule, in the name of Ming.

Oh, dear. How pathetic. Yes, I anticipated that.
Flash Gordon The game's lost, Ming! Stop your attack on Earth and I'll spare your life!
You pitiful fool! My life is not for any earthling to give or take!
Flash Gordon Your power is fading, Ming.
